Bountiful Berries!


It is berry season! And berries abound in the central San Joaquin Valley! Our favorite strawberry stand (one street south of Herndon, Magill, just east of Willow) now has blueberries, cherries, blackberries, boysenberries, and all kinds of yummy veggies!

It's like a one-stop farmer's market! Randy prefers all his berries undefiled by whipped cream or baked goods. I love the excuse to whip something up to which the berries can be the perfect accompaniment! I tried this recipe this weekend and it turned out fantastic! Don't bother with Cool-whip though...please! Get a small carton of real whipped cream, whip it up with a couple teaspoons of sugar and a drop of vanilla. Your tastebuds will thank you!!!

We went to our first San Jose farmer's market. We bought cherries, raspberries and sourdough bread! Love, Mom
